The eight major cuisines – Sichuan, Shandong, Cantonese, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Hunan, and Anhui – are renowned dishes from China’s eight major culinary traditions. As early as the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, differences in the flavors of dishes from the north and south could already be observed in China’s traditional food culture. By the Tang and Song dynasties, southern and northern cuisines had each developed their own systems. By the early Qing dynasty, Shandong cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, and Sichuan cuisine had become the most influential regional cuisines of the time, and were known as the \"Four Great Cuisines\". By the end of the Qing dynasty, four new regional cuisines – Zhejiang cuisine, Fujian cuisine, Hunan cuisine, and Anhui cuisine – had emerged, together forming the \"Eight Great Cuisines\" of Chinese traditional food culture.
